Manitoba's cattle industry is confident a case of mad cow disease found in Alberta will not impact prices.
Prices for cattle are high right now, because of a shortage of cattle.
The Manitoba Beef Producers says that, because the cow never entered the food chain, it proves testing is working and that the food supply is safe.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is trying to determine the cow's history and how it became infected.
This is the first case of BSE detected in Canada since 2011.
In November 2003, the disease devastated the cattle industry after the U.S. and other countries temporarily closed their borders to Canadian beef.
